JDK-8204934 - OpenJDK - Windows - Digital Signatures

Hi, two weeks ago I opened a issue at Oracle's bug database which was confirmed and available at bugs.java.com & bugs.openjdk.java.net.

https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8204934 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204934

Now it seems that the issue was deleted without any feedback.

My questions was related to the digital signatures of the official OpenJDK zip.

All OracleJDK's *.exe and *.dll files have a valid Digital Signature but the same files of the OpenJDK doesn't have one.

*e.g.: *java.dll & java.exe

Is that on purpose or is that an open issue which will be solved at the final OpenJDK 11 build?

I asking because some end-users will be protected by Microsoft's AppLocker which provides the possibility to define a whitelist of digital signatures. Which means that *.dll's & *.exe files without an signature would be blocked.

Best Regards, Steve
